Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

In Lu Zheng's view, his gamble still has some chances of winning. After all, Changyilou and Yixiaolou are just restaurants. Neither the Lu family nor the Prince of Chu's mansion could engage in a real life-and-death fight for them, at most it was just an exchange of interests. Therefore, even if the other party knew that it was Lu Shi who dealt with them, they might not counterattack with all their strength and shake Lu Shi's foundation.

Therefore, as long as he can pry out the secret recipe of soy sauce and wine from Zhao Ke's mouth, everything will be solved easily - he knows that the meaning of soy sauce and wine is not limited to a smile building. With the strength of the Lu family, under good management, these two items will definitely be sold all over the country, even in the Western Regions. At that time, the torrent of copper coins will pour into the Lu family continuously.

What kind of credit is this? At that time, will anyone dare to speak of my status as a bastard?

Lu Zheng secretly clenched his fists, intoxicated by his beautiful imagination.

It's a pity that Li Xin can't know what he is thinking now, otherwise Li Xin will definitely slap him with a big ear, to see if he can wake up from his big dream smoothly.

First of all, Lu Zheng knew the importance of the secret recipe, so didn't Lu Faxan know it? Under this premise, is Lu Zheng overly optimistic about the conflict between the Lu family and Chu Palace? Will things really go as he thought?

Secondly, even if Lu Zheng really won the bet, he really made great contributions to the Lu family. and then? Then will Lu's internal affairs really treat him as fairly as he thought? Give him a higher status? I'm afraid not necessarily. Will the heirs who are really in the power struggle circle of the Lu family allow one more person in this circle?

Given their status, there are at least a hundred ways to place this credit on themselves. What can Lu Zheng do?

All in all, no matter what impact Lu Zheng's stinky move can bring, it is foreseeable that he will definitely not have a share in good things, and he will definitely not be able to escape bad things. I really don't know how stupid he has to be to do such a thing.

Just like what Li Xin often said, don't be afraid of being stupid, just be afraid of being stupid without knowing it.

When a fool possesses extraordinary courage, decisiveness, and executive power, it is simply a disaster.

Lu Zheng never expected that his actions would have caused such a big disturbance in the dark, and the forces in the entire Chu Palace were mobilized, searching for Zhao Ke's whereabouts throughout the city. Li Xin even went to visit Cheng Yaojin himself, trying to mobilize his strength to help find someone.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Xin's face, after all, he didn't say anything like "why make such a fuss over a molehill". He knew that Li Xin was the one who cherished human life the most, and was extremely protective of his weaknesses. Naturally, it was absolutely impossible for his subordinates to be taken away for no apparent reason.

"Boy, I know you're very angry. But I can't help you." Cheng Yaojin finally shook his head and said, "Chang'an's city defenses must not be tampered with, not even by me."

Li Xin was also in a daze, and he suddenly reacted when he heard this—damn it, the guards in Chang'an are all imperial guards, directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, even if Cheng Yaojin has the right to mobilize some of them, but without reporting to the emperor How dare he do this? If there is something wrong with it, it may be a crime of treason.

Of course, with Cheng Yaojin's status and Li Shimin's love for him, it is impossible for Cheng Yaojin to be convicted of treason, but he caused a commotion and did something bad to other people of the same status. This is also not acceptable—just imagine, once a precedent of privately mobilizing the city defense army is set, there must be a second and third case. How many people with ulterior motives will try their best to exploit this loophole until they penetrate it.

Cheng Yaojin glanced at the disappointed expression on Li Xin's face, coughed lightly, and said casually, "Although I can't mobilize these troops, there is no one else in Chang'an who can mobilize them!"

Li Xin didn't need to think about it, as soon as he heard this, he immediately reacted: Wouldn't it be over to go directly to Li Shimin?

"Ahhh, this junior suddenly remembered that he forgot to turn off the fire at home, now go back and turn it off, and leave first, Uncle Cheng." Li Xin made up a random reason, saluted extremely perfunctorily, got up and walked out, Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he almost stopped him and beat him up.

What do you mean you forgot to turn off the fire at home? Not to mention whether you really forgot to turn off the fire in your house, even if there was a fire that you forgot to turn off, does the King of Chu need to do it? Damn, I'm obviously in a hurry to see His Majesty Li Er, and I don't know how to make up a decent reason.

Although Cheng Yaojin was a little older, his movements were still fast, and he immediately kicked Li Xin's buttocks, kicking him out of the door.

"Looking at how anxious you are, I'd better give you a ride, lest the fire in your house really burn down the Chu Palace, and that would be a crime." Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly.

Li Xin rubbed his butt, gritted his teeth, wanted to curse but couldn't, so he snorted and limped out.
